The CPLC competition challenges teams to build a self-landing liquid-propelled lander. This is a milestone-based competition that encourages teams to collaborate and regularly share research and testing results.

There are three main aspects of the CPLC competition: propulsion, vehicle controls, and ground support. 

The Liquid Propulsion team develops liquid-fueled rocket engines and their umbilicals to support various flight vehicles through design and simulation, with special emphasis on the igniter and engine systems.

The Vehicle Controls Subteam's primary responsibilities include hardware design and selection, programming, and software management for the self-landing Primarch lander.

The ground support subteam is responsible for the design, manufacturing, and development of our rocket engine test stand, which will be used primarily for CPLC, but also for IREC.
